Company registration

[kev]

Hi there,

I was wondering if this sort of website is good for registering ltd companies in the UK. It seems insanely cheap at 30 quid? Also, is there a minimum age for registering a company

Help appreciated

Well you get what you pay for. Incorporation in the UK is cheap (I've done it ) but you often need some additional (paid) extras to have a fully-functional company:

- secretary
- registered office/office space
- mail address
- phone service
- accountant
- opening of bank account
- possibly staff

If you would like I could refer you to the company I used in Manchester but I think a lot of other incorporators are equally competent for that purpose. Also since you appear to be based in Scotland I know there must be some differences vs England and Wales. Also have a look at the Companieshouse website, you should some useful guidance there.
Best of luck with your entrepreneur endeavours

For £30 you will only get a none trading company.

There is no minimum age in the UK.

You need to have a registered office, two directors and a secratary (one director can also be the secretary).

You will also need to file annual returns etc and annual accounts, it's more trouble than it's worth if your only working small time.

TIP: If you are registered as a sole trader, you can discount losses from your business against other earnings in order to pay less tax, which of course you cannot do with a Ltd Company.

so if i went with the 30 quid option (non-trading company), would i still need to publish accounts etc...
